What types of services do you offer?

I provide individual therapy for adults, specializing in neurodivergence, trauma, attachment, substance use, addiction, anxiety, depression, anger management, and life transitions. I use a single therapy program and universal treatment plan for all my clients. The program is dynamic and allows for individualized interventions based on the client’s unique problems, needs, strengths, and circumstances.

I provide individual coaching services: life coach; health and wellness coach; neurodivergence coach for ADHD and Autism; business and executive consultant; professional development coach; and addiction recovery coach. I offer an integrative and holistic self-directed health and wellness program delivered through Quenza and Kajabi.

Why don’t you offer free consultations?

My policy is to offer paid initial consultations because this time involves professional expertise, preparation, and responsibility. Even a brief conversation about your mental health can raise privacy concerns, potential liability, and obligations under applicable laws, licensing regulations, and ethical standards. A scheduled consultation provides a structured setting to discuss your needs, informed consent, confidentiality, fees, and the boundaries of my services, consistent with professional counseling standards. The fee also helps cover secure technology, professional insurance, continuing education, and the ongoing costs of maintaining a sustainable practice. I understand wanting to feel comfortable before making a financial commitment, and I encourage you to review the information about my qualifications, approach, and policies on this website to help you decide whether to schedule.

Do you accept insurance for your services?

Yes, I work with a variety of insurance providers for therapy services. Insurance companies do not cover coaching services or personal development programs. Please contact your insurance provider to confirm coverage, deductibles, and copays.

• Blue Cross – Blue Shield of Vermont
• MVP Healthcare
• Vermont Medicare
• Vermont Medicaid

I will submit out of network claims to your insurance company on your behalf. The insurance company might reimburse you directly or pay me directly. Out of network coverage is different than in network coverage. Deductibles, copays, and coinsurance may have different dollar limits.

What should I expect during my first few sessions?

A consultation meeting allows me to share relevant information about my credentials, experience, approach to therapy, policies, and business practices. An intake session allows me to gather information about your current circumstances, problems, stressors, symptoms, and behaviors. Your next few sessions will focus on understanding your strengths, needs, abilities, preferences, values, goals, readiness, and willingness to create and commit to a personalized plan for therapy.

What types of payment do you accept?

My client account portal for therapy and coaching clients includes a secure and confidential payment gateway and merchant account through Card Pointe, a HIPAA and PCI compliant software. You can opt in to set up automatic payments for charges, fees, deductibles, and copays. I accept all major credit cards, cash, and Venmo. My self-directed health and wellness program is subject to a monthly or annual fee and is managed through Kajabi payment solutions.

What is Strengthening Your Conscious Self?

Strengthening Your Conscious Self is a comprehensive and dynamic therapy program, health and wellness program, and universal treatment plan designed to help counseling or coaching clients nurture a deeper sense of self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful personal growth. At its core, Strengthening Your Conscious Self focuses on the belief that individuals have the innate capacity to align their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with their innermost values and life goals, ultimately cultivating a stronger and more fulfilled sense of being. This approach is anchored in both traditional and cutting-edge psychotherapy techniques, as well as holistic wellness practices, ensuring that each client benefits from an integrative method that addresses the mind, body, and spirit.

How do I schedule my first appointment?

You can book your first session by scheduling a consultation session in Therapy Portal. I do not offer a free consultation call. You will be required to provide your contact information when scheduling. A link to my portal is located on the contact page.
